Somethings wrong with a fresh Laravel 6 terminal outputs

Have you modified any of the route files in routes ?

Try clearing composer cache, update composer to latest version, then composer update.

Hey @skeith22, you must downgrade symfony/console to 4.3.4

composer require symfony/console:4.3.4

I had the same problem and someone helped me with the above information.

@nakov helped me on that one.

@lemmon Laravel 6.5 already uses 4.3.4 which is also the version OP is using.

It's possible that it's just glitched. I've usually seen this occur due to a routes file being modified and leaving just <?php at the top of the file.

Could also just be a glitch, so try @jlrdw 's solution. If that fails, actually remove the entire vendor folder and composer install again

@jaytee

laravel 6.5 is on symfony/console:4.3.6

I just recreated the problem 5 minutes ago. it only happens to us windows guys and the solutiion is to downgrade to symfony/console:4.3.4

It would help if you would get your version from the released versions which would be a stable version with the correct composer file.

http://github.com/laravel/laravel/tags

The latest laravel from that link, then a composer install of the framework.

If it's not in that latest release section, do not use it that means it's not stable.

Ahh, sorry, was looking at the wrong version number. My fresh app (8 hours ago) is indeed 6.5 and 4.3.6, but that has no issues.

I've just created another app for the purpose of this thread. Running 6.5 along with 4.3.6, and also do not have an issue. I'm also on windows.

@jaytee here is my current symfony/console version

$ composer show | grep symfony/console
symfony/console                       v4.3.6     Symfony Console Component

Here is a small bit of the output for my php artisan list

$ php artisan list

@lemmon look at my latest answer above, you have to get a latest version from the release page not somewhere else any other version is unstable. That's why there's a release page with stable versions.

Usually the problem is someone thinks they have a correct version but they have the wrong composer file to match the correct framework.

You have to match a correct laravel version with a correct framework version to get a proper install.

if you would have had a correct composer file you wouldn't have to downgrade anything that is wrong.

composer require symfony/console:4.3.4

@jlrdw I am using:

composer global require laravel/installer

I thought it was giving me the nightly version, is that not the one that I want?

@jaytee Are you using git bash on a windows machine?

I was told this bug only happens on window with git bash.

laravel/installer should give you a stable version by default. Passing the --dev flag will give you dev builds.

Yep, I'm using Hyper.js with bash. Just told Hyper to use standard windows (whatever that is), results were still the same. CMD results were the same and Powershell had the same results.

I'd make sure you're pulling in a stable version (like @jlrdw said), and run a composer update too.

After downgrade:

$ composer show | grep symfony/console
symfony/console                       v4.3.4     Symfony Console Component

$ php artisan list
Laravel Framework 6.5.0

Usage:
  command [options] [arguments]

Options:
  -h, --help            Display this help message
  -q, --quiet           Do not output any message
  -V, --version         Display this application version
      --ansi            Force ANSI output
      --no-ansi         Disable ANSI output
  -n, --no-interaction  Do not ask any interactive question
      --env[=ENV]       The environment the command should run under
  -v|vv|vvv, --verbose  Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output,
 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debug

I wish there was another way to fix it than to downgrade.

Thank you guys.

Let me try that @jaytee

@lemmon search this forum on how many times has been install problems and confusion on versions.

I have never used any of those things in the docs to install.

I always get a stable version from the link I showed somewhere above, then use it when I do my composer install which automatically matches the correct framework version to the version I got from the stable release.

But that's just me but I have contributed to Frameworks to and I know a little bit about GitHub and stable release pages.

I usually use the installer, or occasionally composer create-project laravel/laravel {name} when the command can't be found (if new computer etc).

If I ever receive issues like this, I run a composer update to update the dependencies.

I also don't see any issues regarding this, both open/closed, on the Laravel repository and Symfony Console.

Just ran

$ composer self-update
Updating to version 1.9.1 (stable channel).
   Downloading (100%)
Use composer self-update --rollback to return to version 1.8.5

I have added a new laravel using Installer and the problem persists?

Ok @jlrdw Now let me go your way

@jlrdw @jaytee

Here is the issue:

https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/30216

It was @nakov that showed it to me

I appreciate all of you guy's help

I will keep trying, Thank you.

should I use the verified version?

@lemmon That's extremely interesting. I match all of the criteria for that issue, and yet it doesn't affect me. And once again, nope, I haven't rolled back to 4.3.4 and all of my consoles work fine, with and without bash.

I am now trying what @jlrdw say's I got a verified version on the http://github.com/laravel/laravel/tags and I updated my composer install, let's see what happen's

What do you mean by updated your composer install do you mean any extra dependencies that don't come with laravel.

Because the composer.json file from the latest release Edition will auto match the correct framework to pull in whenever you do a composer install.

But of course you would have to update any added dependencies that's not part of laravel.

and I'm referring to the one you have to download and un zip.

$ composer self-update
Updating to version 1.9.1 (stable channel).
   Downloading (100%)
Use composer self-update --rollback to return to version 1.8.5

Is what I did.

@jlrdw Have you read this?
